“Tonight,” CBS’ “Late Show” and ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” were all down a little from the prior week. NBC’s “Late Night” and CBS’ “Late Late Show” also dipped slightly.

On cable, week 2 of “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” was (unsurprisingly) down some after the hype of his premiere week. The show’s adults 18-49 rating dipped from 0.41 to 0.33.

Late-night charts for the week of Oct. 5-9, and season to date on the broadcast nets, follow.

Trevor Noah’s debut as host of “The Daily Show” won him some good reviews, but ratings-wise, he’s no Jon Stewart — at least not yet.

Noah’s first week as host scored a 0.41 rating among adults 18-49 and just over 1 million viewers. For the same week in 2014, “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” drew a 0.65 and 1.5 million viewers.

On the broadcast side, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” stayed on top of CBS’ “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live” at 11:35 p.m. “Late Night with Seth Meyers” led the way at 12:35 a.m.

Here’s the broadcast rundown:

SEPT. 28-OCT. 2

Note: All but “The Tonight Show” and “Late Show” aired repeats on Oct. 2. CBS’ shows were delayed on Oct. 1 by an NFL overrun.

‘THE TONIGHT SHOW’ OUTPERFORMS ‘LATE SHOW’ IN 18-49 AND TOTAL VIEWERS FOR SEASON PREMIERE WEEK OF SEPT. 21-25

Both Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers Up From a Week Ago as Network’s Late-Night Franchises Remain Firmly #1 in Respective Timelsots

NEW YORK — Oct. 1, 2015 — “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” has won premiere week of the 2015-16 season (Sept. 21-25), growing week to week to top CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in both adults 18-49 and total viewers despite Colbert’s boost from Tuesday’s appearance by Donald Trump.

For a full five-day ratings week, it’s Fallon’s best performance in five months in 18-49 rating (1.05, best since April 6-10, 1.06) and most-watched in 10 weeks (3.581 million, best since July 13-17, 3.740 million). Those comparisons exclude the high-rated four-day holiday week of Sept. 7-11 (when “Tonight” guests included Donald Trump and Justin Timberlake, and Thursday’s high-rated NFL overrun boosted ratings), with Monday’s Labor Day results excluded.

Versus the prior week, Fallon was up +6% in 18-49 (1.05 vs. 0.99 for Sept. 14-18). Also, despite much higher-rated “Late Show” competition this year versus last, Fallon finished within 5% of his premiere week result of one year ago in 18-49 (1.05 vs. 1.10) and within 8% in total viewers (3.581 million vs. 3.894 million).

At 12:35 a.m. ET, “Late Night with Seth Meyers” delivered its biggest regular five-day week in seven months in 18-49 (0.54, best since Feb. 16-20, 0.57, excludes Labor Day week, Sept. 7-11). At 1:35 a.m. ET, “Last Call with Carson Daly” scored its high in 10 months (0.35, best since Nov. 17-21, 2014, 0.37, excludes Labor Day week). In total viewers, it was Meyers’ high for a regular five-day week in six months (1.610 million, best since March 2-6, 1.614 million, excludes Labor Day week) and Daly’s high in 10 months (975,000, best since Nov. 17-21, 2014, also 975,000, excludes Labor Day week).

Versus the season premiere week last year, Meyers increased by +8% in 18-49 (0.54 vs. 0.50) and +6% in total viewers (1.610 million vs. 1.515 million), while Daly grew year-to-year by +13% in 18-49 (0.35 vs. 0.31) and +18% in total viewers (975,000 vs. 829,000).

Despite later start times, “Meyers” finished within 0.05 of a rating point last week of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 18-49 (0.54 vs. 0.59) and “Last Call” finished within 0.03 of both “Late Late Show” and “Nightline” (0.35 vs. 0.38).

Season-to-date figures are averages of “live plus seven day” data except for the two most recent weeks, which are “live plus same day.”)

NBC’s late-night success extended to the online world as well, where “Tonight” amassed a total of 215 million online views during the weeks of Sept. 7 and Sept. 14, with 14 separate “Tonight Show” videos generating more than 1 million views.

The NBC ratings wins for Sept. 14-18 conclude a dominant 2014-15 season for the network’s late-night lineup, marking the 20th straight season “Tonight” has been the #1 late-night broadcast talk show among adults 18-49 and the 19th time in 20 seasons “Tonight” has been #1 in total viewers.

With the transition to Jimmy Fallon as host, “Tonight” has delivered the show’s two top-rated seasons in the last six years.

For the 2014-15 52-week season, Fallon outdelivered the time period’s ABC and CBS competition in every key measure — adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers.

At 12:35 a.m. ET, “Late Night with Seth Meyers” topped CBS’s “Late Late Show” for the season in all key categories and also outrated ABC’s “Nightline” in their head-to-head half-hour from 12:30-1 a.m. ET in every key measure.

For the Sept. 14-18 week, Fallon won four of five nights versus Colbert in both 18-49 and total viewers, only trailing “Late Show” in 18-49 on Thursday — the night the CBS show was boosted by a high-rated NFL overrun. Fallon claimed that night in total viewers.

At 12:35 a.m. ET, “Late Night with Seth Meyers” decisively topped CBS’s “Late Late Show with James Corden” in both 18-49 and total viewers and, despite the later hour, nearly matched ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 18-49 (0.46 vs. 0.47). Meyers outrated Kimmel in men 18-49 (0.44 vs. 0.36) and men 25-54 (0.54 vs. 0.47).

Versus its levels of one year ago, “Tonight” is up +63% on Facebook (5.8 million likes for its show page vs. 3.6 million), up +92% on Twitter (3.0 million followers vs. 1.5 million), up +24% on Tumblr (703,000 followers vs. 569,000), up +84% on YouTube (8.0 million subscribers vs. 4.3 million) and up +218% on Instagram (1.4 million followers vs. 426,000).

For the weeks of Sept. 7 and Sept. 14, “Tonight Show” videos generated 153 million views on the show’s channel on YouTube and 61 million views on Facebook. Over that span, 14 different “Tonight Show” videos amassed more than 1 million views on those platforms.
